Chocolate

Time

Difficulty

Method:

Start by roughly chopping the nuts, apricots and dried apple into bite-sized pieces and then place these to the side.

To make the chocolate. Put the cacao butter in a bain marie and melt this until it reached 40-42 degrees Celsius.

Once it has reached the correct temperature, add in the maple, cacao powder and salt. Stir this through to ensure that it mixes well.

Take the bowl away from the heat and keep stirring the chocolate. Monitor the heat with the thermometer until it reaches 30 degrees Celsius.

Once the chocolate has reached the desired temperature, add in all of the dried fruit and nut and stir to make sure they are fully covered. Place this on a lined baking tray and set aside to firm up.

Once this has firmed, cut it into squares and enjoy! This is best kept in the fridge or freezer.

This fruit and nut bark is a tasty post dinner treat or afternoon pick me up! It is is so simple to make and can be left in the fridge for a while. This makes it the easiest pick me up treat whenever you need. We love chocolate in the LK office (no surprise there) and we all love fruit and nut – so this seemed like a perfect combination.

You can be really adventurous with the types of fruit and nut you use here so don’t hold back. From anything like cranberries, raisins, sultanas, almonds, cashews and even goji berries. Don’t forget to tag us in your creations using #liviaskitchen. We buy a lot of our ingredients from Buy Wholefoods Online as they sell a lot of ingredients in bulk which is really great for us.
